Southwire 905-1 Side Post Battery Terminal

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 905-1 is a heavy-duty side post battery terminal designed for automotive battery service. It provides a secure, corrosion-resistant connection at the side terminal of automotive batteries, ensuring reliable electrical continuity between the battery and the vehicle's wiring harness. This terminal is built for heavy-duty use and ships as a single unit. Licensed auto electricians, fleet service technicians, and experienced DIYers install this type of terminal during battery replacement or when repairing a damaged or corroded battery connection.

The 905-1 is suited for automotive applications where the battery uses a side-post design rather than a top-post configuration. Side post terminals are common on many domestic passenger vehicles and light trucks. This terminal is packaged individually and is appropriate for single-terminal replacement jobs on the job site or in the shop.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive electrician or experienced technician. Always disconnect the negative battery cable before servicing any battery terminal to prevent accidental shorts or electrical shock. Ensure the mating battery post threads are clean and free of corrosion before installing the new terminal. Torque requirements and wire gauge compatibility should be verified against the vehicle manufacturer's service documentation prior to installation.
